Be Simply Fit

Being simply fit involves more than than the physical component, we all need to be fit mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as well. Those who are have a better outlook on life and are more apt to treat others with kindness and respect.

The Eye That Mocks The Father

The Holiday Table

It never ceases to amaze me how we can believe that an actor/actress on a commercial is really the character he or she portrayed on a sitcom. I was watching TV some years ago and Roseanne Barr was doing a commercial on Retro-TV talking about the importance of having dinner at the “family table.” So the commercial flashed back to her and John Goodman on a Roseanne episode sitting at the dinner table engaged in an argument which was supposed to be funny to the viewer. The point of the commercial w...
